GeoGebra Courses for STEM Education at Primary and Secondary

Anthony OR 柯志明, Jul 15, 2017

[b]Abstract[/b] In this session, the speaker will share the curriculum design of the GeoGebra courses offered by the GeoGebra Institute of Hong Kong at primary and secondary levels. The speaker will elaborate on how to make use of GeoGebra to conduct various hands-on activities on geometric and algebraic constructions, designs, inquiries and coding that nurture the science and mathematics literacy of students, and foster STEM as well as STEAM (A: Art) education.
